Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager -y
After the installation, make sure to start and enable libvirt with:
sudo systemctl enable --now libvirtd
You might also need to add your user to the libvirt group with the command:
sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
After that, log out and log back in so the changes take effect.
